Your greatest Foes, &, they who most may wrong you,
Are some, who, daily Counsel take among you;
Your Adversaries, as the Prophet said,
Are men of your own Houses, who have plaid
The parts of seeming Friends. Of these, therefore,
Take heed, and seek to cast them out of doore
Before they cast you out: Whirh, were they stronger,
Deferred would not be one minute longer.
